Largest European nitrogen production unit for German photovoltaic industry

领先的太阳能光伏公司在德国are increasingly focussing on the so-called thin film technologies for the production of solar cells. Due to their lower usage of substrate materials, these innovative approaches are helping reduce production costs.

Since 2005, Air Liquide,太阳能光伏产业气体的全球领导者，一直在欧洲最大的“太阳谷”附近，为位于莱比锡（德国）附近的所有客户提供必要的生产气体，以及相关的完整服务。

液化空气will now build a large dedicated on-site production unit- 由于2010年启动，为这家高科技园区的所有客户提供服务。特别是节能的单位，以适应位于泰尔海姆的所有太阳能电池厂商的需求，最终会产生更多每年38,000吨氮and represents an投资约1000万欧元。

It will notably ensure the nitrogen supply forCalyxo GmbH, a subsidiary ofQ-Cells，全球光伏的领导者之一, as well as for a subsidiary ofSunfilm AG（前Sontor GmbH），以及Q-CELTER AG。

Guy Salzgeber, Vice-President European Industrial Business and member of the Air Liquide Executive Committee, commented:“By combining the needs of the major companies and investing in a single large unit, we are pleased of being able to offer a very energy effective and flexible solution for the nitrogen consumption of customers in Thalheim.
这些新的长期协议与光伏市场领导者和新单位来证实了我们全球太阳能优势的成功，并说明了我们对这一快速变化的行业的承诺，并专门为德国光伏产业发展的重要网站。光伏业务处于能源和环境的十字路口，液化空气集团的两个生长司机“。
